Laureate's Impact

Dedicated to Building a Better World

Expanding Access. Delivering Outcomes. Driving Economic Mobility.

Laureate Education expands access to high-quality education across Mexico and Peru, serving more than 497,000 students. Half are the first in their families to attend university, making education a critical step toward long-term economic mobility and entry into the middle class.

Clear outcomes guide this work. Programs are aligned with labor market needs and supported by structured career pathways and practical, work-integrated learning. This approach equips students to succeed in the workforce and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Results reflect this focus. Nine out of ten job-seeking graduates are employed within 12 months of graduation. The cost of education is typically recovered in approximately three years through higher earnings compared to high school graduates of the same age. These outcomes highlight the relevance of academic programs and their ability to translate into tangible economic return.

Impact extends beyond the classroom. Institutions strengthen communities through essential health, legal, veterinary, and other services, while giving students opportunities to apply their skills in real-world settings.

As a Public Benefit Corporation, Laureate remains focused on expanding access, delivering academic quality, and improving student outcomes. Progress is measured not only by educational attainment, but by the long-term economic mobility of the students served.
